Today, I proved that I am mean nasty not-nice racist white person by voting for Romney.

Well, okay, technically I proved that last week, since I did early voting.

And I didn't so much vote for Romney as I voted against the administration that allows Eric "Fast and Furious" Holder to stay in office and doesn't seem to believe in the War Powers act.

And in actuality, if you're going to call me a racist for voting against a black candidate, then I can call you racist for voting for a black candidate. Or I can call you a racist for voting against a white candidate.

You're right, no one has specifically called me, Erin Palette, a racist. But it's a favorite talking point among folks like Chris Matthews, Bill Maher, Janeane Garofalo, etc that if you disagree with Obama it's because you're a racist.

You're right. The purpose of calling you either a Nazi or a racist is to make you respond to that charge. If you're a politician, you waste your time and money replying to their charge - going "off message" and talking about what you believe. If you refuse to respond to it, because you know its utter bull, you deprive them of that power.

I didn't vote for Romney. Does that mean I'm not a racist? Not that it matters, since I hear that the Christians' god decides who goes to hell based on skin tone rather than one's actions anyway.

Voting re:Holder- Romney refused to raise the Fast & Furious issue, giving Obama a free out. The only difference a Romney administration would have made is that he'd have appointed his own (probably equally bad) AG, and the ATF would _still_ be out of control. Bear in mind that it _was_ a Republican administration that ran Wide Receiver. But at least they tried to track some of the guns that time, and shut down when they failed.
